Went to watch Eden Lake, one word to describe it - 'mindless'.For those of you who don't mind seeing people being tortured for fun, then by all means go ahead, you won't be disappointed. Personally, i think the name 'Eden Lake' doesn't have anything to do with the storyline at all other than being the name of the place where the 'mindlessness' started, and most of the settings that took place after the 'mindlessness' started wasn't even near the lake!! In fact, there wasn't even a real storyline, just a lame story made up as an excuse for all the gore - a bunch of kampung boys cutting up a man just because he accidentally caused the death of their dog... come on, such a childish thing to do, and it wasn't even that man's fault their dog was killed in the first place. Lame lame lame lame lame...
And you know what? According to IMDb.com, the film was nominated for 2 awards, with 1 win!! OMG!! Ok, i understand that the actress was not bad, really convincing, but an award for the writer!?!? That is just so wrong... I did a quick search on the internet and found that the Douglas Hickox Award is for first time directors only. Beh guai la, newbie lai...
I'd rather watch Benjamin Button for the second time than sit through this pointless gore fest. Luckily i didn't watch it alone, abo sien si...
Thanks for sitting through the movie with me :)
